Manage Dictionaries
After you have created and configured the dictionary file, you can use the TypeAheadManage
action to modify the dictionary file. This action ensures that you do not have to restart the server when you want to update the dictionary.
Add Values
To add values to the dictionary, send a TypeAheadManage
action with:
-
Mode
set toDictionary
. -
ManageMode
set toAdd
. -
Text
set to a list of theword,score
pairs that you want to add to the dictionary. Separate each pair with a semicolon. The score value is optional. If you do not add a score, the term is added with a score of zero. If you include a score, the minimum allowed score value is -230, and the maximum allowed score is 230-1.
For example:
action=TypeAheadManage&Mode=Dictionary&ManageMode=Add&Text=goal,25;gothic,5
You can also upload the changes to the dictionary in a file. The file must contain the words and scores that you want to add to the dictionary. It must have the same format as the dictionary file (see Create a Dictionary File). You upload the file by using the ManageFile
parameter. For more information about uploading a file by using the ManageFile
parameter, refer to the QMS Reference.

Save Changes to the Dictionary
When you have finished making modifications to the dictionary file, you must send another TypeAheadManage
action to save those changes to disk. If you do not persist the changes, QMS continues to use your updated values for the dictionary, but if you restart the server, the changes are lost.
To save dictionary changes to disk, send a TypeAheadManage
action with:
Mode
set toDictionary
.-
ManageMode
set toPersist
.
For example:
action=TypeAheadManage&Mode=Dictionary&ManageMode=Persist
